Consumer Description

WHEN PARKING AFTER DRIVING , THE KEY WILL NOT BE RELEASED . YOU MAY HAVE TO TURN THE KEY ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL IT RELEASES. THERE IS ALSO A PROBLEM WITH STARTING THE CAR WHERE YOU TURN THE KEY AND THE CAR WILL NOT START. ON OCCASION (NOT EVERY TIME) YOU NEED TO TURN THE KEY ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL IT STARTS. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM- STILL HAPPENING. TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE EVEN THOUGH IT HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES DAILY. *TR
